ValueTradeable compliance credits; market price crossed CAD $400/credit in early March 2026 (avg CAD $157 in 2024); low-CI RNG and EV fleet charging both generate credits; ultra-low-CI RNG earns premium value
DeadlinesOngoing market; no application deadline; annual compliance/reporting cycles under ECCC's Credit and Tracking System (CATS)
RequirementsRegister as voluntary credit creator with ECCC; approved carbon-intensity pathway for RNG; credits verified and registered in CATS then sold bilaterally to obligated fuel suppliers
CaveatsGaseous-fuel credits capped at 10% of total compliance, cap projected to bind around 2030; prices are market-set and volatile; price fact from dated secondary sources (Mar 2026), ECCC pages blocked direct fetch
